Rouge Bunny Rouge Chatoyant, Lilt & Vespers ~ new perfumes

Beauty brand Rouge Bunny Rouge has launched Fragrance Confections, a new collection with three personal fragrances: Chatoyant, Lilt and Vespers.

Buried deep below the Enchanted Garden, accessible only through a winding maze of caves lies the Vault of Captured Memories. Behind a multitude of invulnerable doors, the Connoisseurs of Scent work tirelessly over their luscious spoils. Gathering the mists of memories and emotions from baffled senses, they harness the vapours into innumerable flacons of glass.

[...] The Fragrant Confections of CAPTURED MEMORIES are inspired by these preternatural vapours. Each of RBR’s three compelling and emotive scents, Lilt, Chatoyant and Vespers, ensure transient, marvellous moments in the Enchanted Garden breath through the senses again...

Lilt ~ "The illusion is cast of a garden ravaged by storm, where wafts of bruised petals strewn along paths, draw you in. Here at the heart of the fragrance a beguiling seduction starts. Fresh, fig leaves and succulent, sun-warmed peach are revealed through transparent veils of dry, powdery coco, frosted violets and overgrown with bitter green....Basking in the warmth of the skin, the aromatic mantle of earth, fruit, leaf and flower is bound by soothing musk and smoky vetiver in the dark wake of this beautifully enigmatic scent."

Vespers ~ "In the heart of the floral crescendo is an otherworldly splendour. Sublime rose, glittering muguet and the auroral delights of violet shine with a light so radiant they forgo the gentle caress of shadow. Yet black pepper’s cool corridors awash with the scent of freshly crushed leaves, cinnamon and apple provide an unexpected solace from the dazzling display. This uplifting and refreshing mix drifting through warm, transparent layers of vanilla imparts the cosy feeling of returning home with every waft of mellow richness. With an invisible clasp around each fragile and nostalgic flower, blonde woods and precious musk begin an enduring embrace that ensures a lasting beauty to this supremely feminine and carelessly elegant elixir."

Rouge Bunny Rouge Chatoyant, Lilt and Vespers are available now at the brand's website, €97 each for 50 ml Eau de Parfum. They can also be pre-ordered at Beautyhabit, $129 each.

I don’t know which is more hilarious, the sentence “Fine-spun lemon, cocooned in rising bergamot bubbles, causes initial raptures of purring delight” or the entirety of the description for Vespers. Oh, thank you miss Robin, thank you for the guffaws I needed today!

The frosted glass bottle is really nice; and I think the copy is actually quite good. Its over-the-top and occasionally teeters on the brink of meaninglessness, but it presents the notes in a relatively imaginative way. More than I can say for most perfume copy which is usually door-mat dull or else entirely meaningless.
